Adrian Brody set back filming by years, cuz he wanted to learn how to play piano to a professional level.& Jim Carrey told Andy Kaufman's daughter to separate from her then-fiancé as he couldn't approve of their relationship.

Heath Ledger made a standard for the joker. But let's all be honest. Before the joker, he wasn't known for intensity. Had Daniel Day Lewis been cast for that part, it would've been labeled a horror movie.

Yes, the method acting is a thing but really the important issue is about using control. it's absurd and not worth it. It damages your body and spirit and doesn't do anything. Hard to do. Cate Blanchette as Elizabeth I; and Jane Fonda; Alan Bates, Oliver Reed, Richard Burton, Lauren Bacall springs to mind..

Rob McElhenney of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia gained 50 lbs for season 7 and has now reversed with 5% body fat for season 13, keeping in line with his character's obsession of bulking up in mass to help get super ripped.

I like a lot of Jim Carrey movies but when I saw the Jim and Andy Documentary I lost a lot of respect for him because he wasn't channeling anything, he was a jerk! Andy Kaufman and Jerry Lawlor were friends and Jim Carrey acted like an A Hole to Jerry, so he wasn't channeling anything! The studio was brilliant in hiding that material because Jim Carrey came looking like an A Hole!

Seeing Ashton Kutcher trying to be a serious actor is like Dwayne Johnson and John Cena trying to be a serious actor. I cant just take them seriously without laughing. But, The Butterfly Effect made me think differently about Ashton.

I think respect is a big part of what makes a good method acting role. Adrian Brody is obviously trying to honor the survivors of the Holocaust. I remember him saying something to the effect of "I never understood the desperation of hunger". I think that's a humbling experience. I think guys like Jim Carey and Jared Leto are just being assholes. They're too obsessed with staying in character and acting "crazzyyyyy". When Daniel Day Lewis isolates himself to better understand the character of a period piece, he's benefiting his performance. When Jim Carey won't answer to his own name and torments his co-workers, he's just acting like a pretentious asshole.

Johnny Depp. The godfather of modern method actors. Cant fuckin' believe nobody mentioned him. Say what you like about his personal life.....whether you like the guy or not is irrelevant, he's a fucking great method actor, thats a fact.

This went from Daniel Day Lewis to Ashton Kutcher in just one move? I can't even imagine the two on the same list. . . I was waiting for Dustin Hoffman or Brando but we went straight out of Daniel Day Lewis. . . to Ashton Kutcher?

As I'm fully conversant in both Imperial and metric measurements, I much prefer pounds, feet and inches. It's much easier to work with. Ask any Canadian school child (only taught metric) how tall they are and their weight and they will ALWAYS reply in feet, ins and pounds. They might say 5' tall and 113 lbs. Not 152.4 cm and 51.36 kg. Fuel economy is much easier to understand also. 33 miles per gallon is self explanatory. 7.13liters/100k? wtf is that in comparison
